Ohhhh! This is such a fun topic. I think we should also talk about the stereotypes. I find them so funny sometimes. Like many other Canadians, I do not mind americans at all, in fact my aunts, uncles and cousins live in the States. I guess the lack of knowledge about Canada drives me up the wall sometimes. Like as soon as you cross the boarder you're knee deep in snow - where I live it snows maybe 4 days of the entire year. And not knowing who are PM is, or thinking it's Wayne Gretzky. Hmmm... Anyways my fave thing is This Hour Has 22 Minutes: Talking to Americans. Especially the one where the people of Iowa (or was it Ohio?) were congratulating us on just swtiching to the 24 hour clock - they believed we used to be on a 20 hour clock - I laughed soooo hard.

One of the funniest things though was one year when I went to my sorority convention and our delegate from Montreal convinced some of the Southern girls that in Canada our Fraternity houses are made out of Igloos.
